I used to think of myself as

a soldier

Holding his own against

impossible odds

Badly outnumbered and

caught in a crossfire

Of devils and gods.



All I ever wanted to be was

free

All I ever wanted to see

was within my eyes to

see

Oh, but, these days

Are just like you and me

These days

Are just like you and me.



You used to be something

I could believe in

How could you let me

forsake myself so,

You used to think of your

life as a riddle

With no answer known.



All you ever wanted to be was

free

All you ever looked for

was what was within

your sights to see

Oh, but, these days

Are just like you and me

These days

Are just like you and me

These days

Are just like you and me.



We used to live like

there was no tomorrow

Tasting our trials

a day at a time

Laughing at sorrow

and crying for justice

Such innocent crimes.



All we ever wanted to be was

free

All we ever looked for

was what was within

our eyes to see

Oh, but, these days

Are just like you and

me

These days

Are just like you and me

Just like you and me.

You know they're just like

you and me.
